Add BMC BladeLogic Integration to a Blueprint

<

To create a blueprint that enables the deployment of BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager software jobs on machines provisioned from it, a tenant administrator or a business group manager must create a blueprint for provisioning by cloning that includes BMC BladeLogic custom properties.

Obtain the following information from your fabric administrator:

The name of the server that hosts BMC BladeLogic.

The name of the default authentication profile on the BMC BladeLogic server.

The BMC BladeLogic location of software jobs to be deployed. This must match the appropriate value of Vrm.Software.IdNNNN.

Prerequisites

Log in to vRealize Automation as a tenant administrator or business group manager.

Create a blueprint for cloning by using the template and customization specification provided to you by your fabric administrator. See IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.

Note:

A fabric administrator can create a build profile by using the property set BMCSoftWareProperties. This makes it easier for tenant administrators and business group managers to correctly include this information in their blueprints.

Procedure

Locate the clone blueprint that you want to integrate with BMC BladeLogic.

In the Actions column, click the down arrow and click Edit.

Click the Properties tab.

(Optional) Select one or more property groups.

Property groups contain multiple custom properties.

(Optional) Add any custom properties to your machine component.

Click New Property.

Enter the custom property in the Name text box.

(Optional) Select the Encrypted check box to encrypt the custom property in the database.

Enter the value of the custom property in the Value text box.

(Optional) Select the Prompt user check box to require the user to provide a value when they request a machine.

If you choose to prompt users for a value, any value you provide for the custom property is presented to them as the default. If you do not provide a default, users cannot continue with the machine request until they provide a value for the custom property.
